The tune seems to be one of those warhorses recycled ad nauseam, though the name of a classic example isn't coming to mind. "Van Dieman's Land", maybe? All I know is that, having heard the first half of the first line, I gave a sigh of recognition: "Spare us!" The saving grace was O'Dwyer's voice--remarkable--though I personally would have preferred to hear her without the ambient Enyatronics.

Art: "The tune seems to be one of those warhorses" Have to confess that I quite like the tune, no matter how many times it's been used; I associate it with Dobbin's Flowery Vale. The song itself is not usually the type I'd break my neck to search out, but again, I found enough detail in it to hold my attention. I agree entirely with you about the electronic wallpaper that the singer is singing against, which for me, only serves (as a negative example) to emphasise how beautiful the solo, unaccompanied voice can be, especially one like Ms O'Dwyer's. Anyway, I have no doubt I shall be hearing the song regularly as the enquirer is a local publican where our regular music/singing session happens every Wednesday - now I only have to find her 'The Jogger From Clare' to win my free pint - cheers all!
